Does Husband Have Liberty to Punish Wife??

Hi this is my first time posting!! Ok so my DH and I were arguing and I cussed at him and he decide that he would flick me in the mouth, it made me even more mad when he flicked me that I cussed again and it flicked me so hard that I cried! I said to him that I am his wife not his child, and he said I was a spoiled brat who acted like a child so I would be treated like one! So I asked him if he thought that if that meant he would spank me and he said no just that he would flick me in the mouth whenever I cussed!! Let me also say that I don't cuss often because I think it is wrong and there really isn't a reason for it, except when we are fighting it really gets to him, obviously!! I hope this makes sense to all of you?? Would appreciate any advice!! Thanks!'

Careful this is abuse! No telling how far he will go you should NOT be treated as a child you should be his equal. I would buy a gun and keep it next to you in bed and tell him if he pisses you off you are going to kill him in his sleep. That should get him to treat you right

Id get the heck out of there and never look back. He thinks its ok to flick you in the mouth? Staying is letting him think its ok to treat people like that and teaches your kids its either ok to treat people like thAt or be treated like that.

Unlike everybody else I'm not an eye for an eye on this topic. Don't physically hurt him back, but let it be know under no uncertain terms that it is inexcusable and you won't tolerate that behavior in a relationship.

He probably got flicked by his parents as a child when he cussed and now he's doing it to you! This is how my seven year old nephew acts with his two year old brother. He needs to grow up quick and stop that behavior, go to counseling and discuss his unresolved flicking issues or kick him to the curb until he realizes that's not acceptable to a child and adult.

If my husband flicked me in the mouth I swear on my life I'd punch him straight in his face! That is unacceptable is so many ways. Ya so you cussed ok. He doesn't like it? Fine that's where you both sit down and talk about and you let him know, hey I'm sorry I was just really upset I'll work on my language when I'm angry and leave it at that. But for him to flick you in the mouth like you're some little kid is belittling beyond words! He's your husband not your dad and should give you the same amount of respect as you give him. I would put an end to this now(flicking not the relationship) because it could escalate into something far worse and who knows how far he would take it. Find a counselor ASAP and get this straightened out. My DH would be 6ft under somewhere if he pulled that stunt with me.

I don't think it was the greatest thing he could have done but I think it got the job done. Maybe next time you'll think twice before you drop your profanity filter. Everyone on her is posting about how disrespectful what he did was, but is it anymore disrespectful than you using the words you did? Did he know what kind of potty mouth he was marrying? Maybe he shouldn't have flicked you, maybe he should have just divorced you and taken you back to the trailer park where he found you.

I wouldn't have hit him back but I would make it by mission to let him know it us unacceptable to flick you. Why couldn't he have just asked you to stop cursing? I hope you are able to communicate that this wasn't ok for you, but I would also respect him but not cursing at him during fights.

Hi, Sorry to hear about your fight. I don't think it's acceptable at all for a man to punish his wife for anything, let alone something as minor as using adult language. It's not polite or respectful to swear at your partner (or anyone for that matter) but his response was demeaning, patronizing, belittling, abusive, and disrespectful. You are his equal partner, and his "punishment" for your "bad behaviour" is completely inappropriate. Also, the punishment here does not suit the crime, so to speak. You got flicked in the face so hard you cried from the pain just for cussing? Let's say you were a child who said a swear word, getting flicked in the face would not be my idea of an appropriate punishment, I think it's really harsh and unnecessary. I hope you don't have to endure it again.
